A second weird thing found on Mt Tongariro summit ridge yesterday:
A constantly playing, solar-powered #Japanese or #Chinese(?), nembutsu chanting plastic lotus flower, firmly embedded in the ground.
I turned it off, but no one here has seen anything like it in the #mountains before!

Well said. The problem is that the leaders of the US government and the people around them are more interested in their ability to profit from the resources of Ukraine and business deals in Russia than a lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe.

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

The same thing will happen here if the Farage fasists gain control! 😡😡😡
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

There are lies, damned lies & Reform Ltd statistics

The Census says otherwise the number of people in England & Wales who said they cannot speak English at all is ~161,000
Not a million

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Good to see some support for Palestine Action and for freedom of speech.
“This is a monumental victory both for our fundamental freedoms here in Britain and in the struggle for freedom for the Palestinian people, striking down a decision that will forever be remembered as one of the most extreme attacks on free speech in recent British history.”

Tell you what Jim.
If the UK has been colonised by migrants, come back, pay your fucking taxes and support the country you purport to love.
No? What’s that? You’re happy in Monaco where they don’t impose personal taxes on their residents?
Funny that.
Tax dodging, unpatriotic racist.
